[CALUG] ssh tunnel - port knocking

[Chuck Frain]

One way to work this is what I've done at home.

I have a Linux based router behind the Verizon Actiontec router as a DMZ
device running DDNS. So from outside I ssh to my.homeip.net:22 it hits
the Actiontec, everything goes to the DMZ router's WAN port and gets sent
to the proper internal box. 

You can configure the port knocking to go through the actiontec to its
proper machine on the home network. 

A side benefit is that I have two wireless networks, one private for our
home network and one for family and friends that sits outside my network
but has access to the internet. 

The layout is basically:

INTERNET
 |
Actiontec Router w/ guest wireless
 |
Linux Router w/ private wireless
 |
Home Network
